8. Louis C.K. - Chewed Up

Make no mistake about it; Louis C.K. is currently the reigning king of comedy. In my opinion, he’s singlehandedly responsible for what I believe to be a new stand-up-comedy boom period. Anthony Jeselnik. Amy Schumer. Jim Jefferies. These are all amazing comedians who not only all have television deals, but whose shows were all recently renewed. And I really think that the popularity these performers are currently enjoying was helped by the mainstream success of Louis C.K.

Louis is comedy's everyman. He's hilariously relatable and immediately likable. Chewed Up is a perfect comedic representation of why the world loves Louie. Reaching this level of success may have taken longer than he had hoped, but it's more than deserved.
